Ichimura Uzaemon XI had to become the zamoto of the Ichimuraza at an early age and kept this position from Spring 1800 to the 6th lunar month of 1815,
always struggling against the huge debts he inherited from Ichimura Uzaemon X, Ichimura Uzaemon IX or Ichimura Uzaemon VIII.
His life was a hell because of the pressure put by his creditors or the different fires, which burnt his theater to a cinder. He almost never performed on stage as an actor and died at the end of his 20's.
